Standard Reporter Nqobani Ndlovu was Friday detained by police in Ntabazinduna alongside three other journalists as they investigated a story of the alleged eviction of a senior policeman caught with MDC-T party songs on his computer.
Ndlovu was detained alongside freelance journalists Pindai Dube, Oscar Nkala and Pamenous Tuso.
Ndlovu left the office in the morning saying he had received a tip-off that the senior police officer was being evicted.
The four were later released last night. The journalists were reportedly arrested immediately after arriving at the police camp 40 kilometres along the Bulawayo-Harare Road.
It is the second time that Ndlovu has got into trouble with the law enforcement agents during the course of his duties in the past 10 months.
Ndlovu was in November last year detained for 10 days over a story he wrote that police had frozen internal promotions last year to accommodate war veteran alleging that the former freedom fighters were being recruited to direct operations during elections.
